How Official Document Retrieval works in China
Official Document Retrieval (文件检索) lets residents, businesses and expats order certified originals of records held by public authorities in China entirely online, in English, Mandarin or any other language. Our local runners file the request with the correct registry, archive, court or ministry, collect the certified original once issued by Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China (中华人民共和国外交部), and courier it worldwide with tracking.
Notary7 retrieves every type of official record issued in China — civil, academic, court, police, corporate, tax and land and can bundle sworn translation, notarization, Hague Apostille or embassy legalization to the same order so the retrieved document is ready to be used both inside China and abroad. In China, documents often require notarization by a local notary public followed by authentication by the Foreign Affairs Office (FAO) or an authorized institution. For international use, further legalization by the embassy or consulate of the destination country in China may be necessary, depending on whether the destination country is a Hague Apostille Convention member or not. Documents retrieved through Notary7 are prepared to meet these specific Chinese requirements, ensuring their validity for both domestic use and international recognition. Our service accounts for local formalities to guarantee acceptance.
